Einstein’s Pedometer (iPhone, iPad) Free
Everybody hold onto something — we’re about to talk about science. Einstein’s Theory of Relativity states that as speed increases, time slows down relative to things that are not moving quite so quickly. It’s called Time Dilation, and it has been proven with atomic clocks: for example, if you fly in a plane, time for you on the plane is actually running slightly slower than time for someone standing on Earth. Any increase in speed actually takes you ever so slightly forward in time.
Einstein’s Pedometer is an app that plays with this notion by using calculations and GPS data to track just how far into the future you’ve traveled just by traveling. It’s quite simple and displays pretty much just the elapsed time readouts after you travel, but it’s free and fun for science nerds and fans of time travel.
